Alfredo Simon has signed with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League.

Simon posted a brutal 9.36 ERA in 11 starts and four relief appearances last season with the Reds before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. It's doubtful we'll ever see the 36-year-old right-hander throw another pitch in a major league game, but crazier things have happened. Tue, Jun 6, 2017 12:46:00 PM

Reds placed RHP Alfredo Simon on the 60-day disabled list with a right shoulder injury.

Simon underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Tuesday. He posted a 9.36 ERA in 11 starts and four relief appearances this summer with the Reds and will probably have to settle for a minor league contract this winter as a 35-year-old free agent.

Alfredo Simon will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Tuesday.

Simon returned from a shoulder injury two weeks ago but evidently must have re-injured it in one of his two appearances. He should be OK entering spring training, but as a 35-year-old coming off shoulder surgery and a 9.36 ERA, his free agent appeal will be very limited. Sun, Sep 11, 2016 01:56:00 PM

Alfredo Simon has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a setback with his right shoulder.

Simon was activated two weeks ago after missing over a month with a shoulder issue, and he apparently aggravated it after a couple appearances. He's been sent back to Cincinnati to be re-evaluated. Simond will finish the season with a hideous 9.36 ERA and 2.05 WHIP across 15 appearances -- 11 starts. The 35-year-old will be a free agent this winter. Sun, Sep 11, 2016 11:04:00 AM

Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports SP Anthony DeSclafani has recovered from his elbow injury and will be fully ready for action at the start of spring training.

DeSclafani missed the entire 2017 season with a sprained UCL in his right elbow after opting for rehabilitation rather than Tommy John surgery. He could be a nice sleeper this year if he can return to the form that saw him register a 3.28 ERA through 20 starts in 2016. The Reds' rotation was crushed by injury last year but should be back to full strength this season. Homer Bailey, Brandon Finnegan, Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle are expected to round out the rotation.
